Two pieces of clay are moving directly toward each other. When they collide, they stick together and move as one piece. One piece having mass 300 g is moving to the right at a speed of 1 m/s. The other piece has mass 600 g and is moving to the left at a speed of 0.75 m/s.
a) Use momentum conservation to determine the velocity of the combined clay piece after they collide. (Note: you can treat this as a one-dimensional problem, but since you're computing velocity not speed, you need to include an appropriate sign. Assume the positive axis points to the right; therefore use a positive sign to indicate motion to the right, and a negative sign to indicate motion to the left.) ANSWER: -0.167 m/s
b) What fraction of the total initial kinetic energy is lost during the collision? In other words what is (KEi−KEf)/ KEi?
Please solve part b and be as descriptive as possible!

Two blobs of clay collide and stick together, moving off at the same velocity. Before the collision, the first blob (m = 1.00 kg) is moving with v = +2.00 m/s and the second blob (m = 2.22 kg) is moving with v = 1.00 m/s. How fast is the combined blob of clay moving after the collision?

A baseball and a ball of clay are approaching each other. The mass of the baseball is 145 g and it is moving due west 5.00 m/s at 180°. The ball of clay is 290 g and it is moving northwest at 135° at 4.00 m/s. What is the magnitude of their combined velocity after they collide and stick together?

In laboratory two air-track gliders collide and stick together because of Velcro tape on each of them. Glider A has a mass of 200g and is moving to the right at 3.0 m/s before collision. Glider B has a mass of 100 g and is moving to the right at 1.0 m/ before the collision. What is their combined velocity after the collision?

15. Two automobiles traveling at right angles to each other collide and stick together. Car A has a mass of 1000 kg and had a speed of 25 m/s before the collision. Car B has a mass of 1500 kg. The skid marks show that, immediately after the collision, the wreckage was moving in a direction making an angle of 40° with the original direction of car A. What was the speed of car B before the collision, assuming that...

024 10.0 points of mass 2000 kg, are moving at right angles to each other when they collide and stick to- gether. The initial velocity of the first car is 11 m/s in the positive r direction and that of the second car is 16 m/s in the positive g directionn What is the magnitude of the velocity of the wreckage of the two cars immediately after the collision? Answer in units of m/s.

Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1200 kg and was approaching at 6.00 m/s due south. The second car has a mass of 800 kg and was approaching at 21.0 m/s due west. (a) Calculate the final velocity of the cars. (Note that since both cars have an initial velocity, you cannot use the equations for conservation of momentum along the x-axis and y-axis; instead, you must look...
